Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisipro 5-Piece Odd Size Measuring Spoon Set
Customer Review: Supplements standard set but definitely not perfectly or economically
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought both the standard Cuisipro measuring spoon set (1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp & 1 Tblsp) and this one ("pinch", 1/8 tsp, 2/3 tsp, 1-1/2 tsp and 2 tsp) thinking they would fully complement one another. They don't. I am now the proud owner of two of the 1/8 tsp spoons. That's not the size I would have chosen to have two of. Meanwhile, while this set includes a 2/3 tsp, there is no 1/3 tsp in either set. A 1/3 tsp is immeasurably more useful than a 2/3 tsp, if you have to choose, since you can always dip the 1/3 tsp twice if you need 2/3 tsp of an ingredient, but it's very difficult to eyeball half the 2/3 tsp if you only need 1/3 tsp.
The spoons themselves are nicely made, but I would not have bought this set at all had the regular set included a 1/2 Tblsp, which is really the only "odd size" spoon I wanted, and which if you do a lot of baking you know is not that odd at all. It's in here under the name "1-1/2 tsp", since a Tablespoon is equivalent to three teaspoons. But not everyone knows that -- certainly a lot of novice cooks do not -- so it would have been nice to have the spoon marked accordingly.
I can take a "pinch" with my fingers and don't really need a spoon to do that, nor do I need a "2 tsp" spoon when I can just dip the 1 tsp twice if I need that much.
I haven't decided whether to send them all back. It's annoying to pay an additional $11.95 over the initial $12.95 just to get one spoon I need, and a bunch more I don't, including the duplicate. Considering that out of the two sets, there are only six spoons I really need, that are truly useful and not redundant, they are costing me more than $4 per spoon. I think that's a bit high regardless of how well made they are.
ADDENDUM:
I found the Culinary Institute of America's spoons (search for "CIA 6 Piece Measuring Spoon Set") and decided to return the two Cuisipro sets and get that instead, at $19.95 for the exact six sizes I want. And it's what the pros use.
